The HOW of our response may be pointed to with words such as: APPROVAL ACCEPTANCE TOLERANCE RESPECT PERMISSION CONTROLS ACKNOWLEDGMENT IGNORING CRITICISM RIDICULE UNDERSTANDING RECOGNITION ATTENTION APPRECIATION HONOR Our responses fall upon various places along a continuous spectrum running from highly negativistic to highly positive. In the middle of the spectrum there are many ways in which we may respond which can best be characterized by what is absent, lacking or missing; rather than by what is obviously present. To say that something is absent, lacking or missing is to suggest that there is some basis for saying what might be expected to be present. If there is no consensus as to what might be expected to be present it is hard to have any consensus regarding what is absent, lacking or missing. When people are engaged in obviously negativistic behavior it is likely to be obvious to many people that it is negativistic---but not obvious to all people that it is negativistic. To some people negativistic behavior is normal, natural, proper; and not recognized as worthy of being called negativistic. When people are engaged in life styles and communities which are not overtly negativistic, but do lack many important affirmative aspects---they are unlikely to be participants in any consensus regarding what affirmative elements might be expected to be present in a healthy community where people enjoy personal and communal integrity. Thus in such a community most of the members of the community are unlikely to recognize that some important elements are absent and so they do not recognize what is lacking in important ways.
